Original subtitles

I wouldn't mind tasting that myself.

Would you like a nice cold beer, please?

That's a prime cut for sure.

I'd like to get me served a nice dish like that. I forgot what it tastes like.

Simmer down, boys.

Well, I sure have, and I can tell you.

Bet it wouldn't need much fixing. Nice and hot already.

You ain't warming up for that time.

Don't blame him. You'll never get enough of that.

We'd better go, honey.

No, they won't do anything.

That's not true. That man over there is making faces at mommy.

It's all right, Johnny.

Don't pay any attention to them.

Eat your lunch.

That's right, sonny. I'd like to join your mall.

Let's get out of here.

We haven't finished yet.

Let's go, Martha, come on.

We don't want trouble.

They're drunk.

Uh-oh, they're fixing to leave already.

Now ain't that a shame.

Hey, what's your hurry, Dad?

Don't like the food here?

Hey, baby, why don't you stay and have a drink with us? Let go of her!

Don't you touch him!

Teach you!

Why don't you pick on someone your own size?

It's just what I'm gonna do.

Come on, Johnny. Come on.

Let's go.

I can't wait till it ends.

You're right. There are too many of them.

Why you red-spinned bastard? I'll show you.

Sure,

I heard you, Rusty.

Thunder?

Yeah.

I thought you were dead.

What are you doing in these parts?

I was born here. Don't you remember?

And you'll die here.

What are you trying to do? Kill him?

Stay out of it.

It's the only way to treat this dirty bastard.

Handcuff him.

We're taking him in.

You're making a big mistake.

No, you made a mistake coming back here.

If you only knew.

How many times I've dreamt of getting another shot at your ass.

Why'd you come back?

Huh?

This is a quiet town.

There ain't no place for trash like you. Rusty!

Knock it off, Rusty. Take a walk, Billy. This is personal.

Me and this Indian have some unfinished business.

The sheriff wants to see you now. Before you do something dumb, Rusty. He said

now.

I'll come and kiss you good night.

Later.

OK, will do.

Thank you. You wanted to see me, Sheriff?

It's got to be a mistake.

I know the bastard.

That bastard is now a law enforcement officer.

You're kidding.

I don't believe it.

That Indian's a phony.

That phony is a deputy sheriff assigned to this county by our illustrious

governor.

I don't want him.

I don't want him in my office. Your office!

This, mister, is my office. As long as I'm sheriff of this county, you keep

that in mind.

Sorry, Roger.

You're the boss here, of course.

But that Indian gets to me.

You remember?

As far as I remember, you leaned pretty hard on him. Whatever you got, you had

it coming.

That was a long time ago.

That happened then. This is now.

What happened then is forgotten, you understand?

It's water under the bridge. We take it from here on and forward.

You understand that?

I understand.

But don't ask me to be his buddy.

Hey, Rusty.

I'm not going to ask you to be his buddy.

I want you to keep an eye on him.

Now get out of here.

How was your first day on patrol?

Dull, right?

Nothing much ever happens around here.

Yeah. Oh, there's a surprise for you. What surprise?

Gina. Oh, honey.

When did you arrive?

About an hour ago.

I wasn't expecting you till next week. I couldn't stay away any longer.

How's the baby?

Kicks like a mule.

He's in a hurry to see his father.

Come on, let's get out of here.

So good to see you

Now, this must be your little missus, eh, Thunder?

Oh, right. You two don't know each other.

This is Sheena.

Pleased to meet you, ma'am. And you must be Thomas Rupert. I had no idea I was so

famous. Thunder's told me a lot about you, especially what you're doing for

the Indians.

Oh, he exaggerates.

Is this it?

Yep. Best I could do on such short notice, but at least it's clean.

About the only thing that is clean around here.

What do you mean?

Drugs. Many of the younger Indians are hooked.

Who's pushing it?

Punks, mostly.

What are the police doing?

Nothing. Hey, now.

All right, that's enough talk about work. I'm hungry and there's nothing to

eat. May I have the honor of inviting you both to dinner? There's a pleasant

little restaurant about three miles down the road.

Sounds good. I'll be ready in a moment.

Why do you say that the police aren't doing anything?

Maybe because this is a...

Poor Indian village.

And a drugged Indian is better than an alert Indian.

You know the story, don't you? I think the sheriff is honest.

Oh, yeah.

Roger's clean.

But he has family problems. He leaves most of his duties to his assistant.

Rusty.

I have no proof.

But I heard he bought a ranch near Salinas.

4,000 acres.

Paid cash.

And he buys a new car every year.

An assistant sheriff I don't think can own a 4,000-acre ranch.

I see.

I'm ready. Let's go.

My, you look pretty. Oh, well, thank you.

Hiya, Rusty. Hi.

Here's your share of the money.

Are you crazy?

What if someone sees us?

So what?

Are you or are you not the big shot around this city? Big shot.

Aw, come on. Rusty Wisner, first deputy sheriff, most corrupt in Arizona.

Shut up, Max.

Shut up.

Hey, what's going on? What's the matter? I've never seen you act like this

before. It's that Indian Thunder.

You know him?

You know what he is?

He's been made a deputy.

Thunder's a cop?

That's what he is, bastard.

Not only is he a cop, that Indian's signed in my

office. Don't tell me.

Uh-huh.

We'll have to quit.

We gotta stop operating.

Hey, if you're scared, get out.

But I'm not gonna quit.

Especially now, when I'm working on this deal that's worth $100,000.

$100,000, Rusty, you understand?

OK.

This time.

Just this time.

Then we can each get out rich.

OK.

And you'd better watch out for him. OK, Rusty. I can take care of myself.

This is Thunder Car 34 at Santa Fe Freight Yards.

I'm investigating report of break-in at Imperial Warehouse offices.

Get up I'm taking you in.

Come on.

I was just sleeping in there. I didn't steal anything, you damn cop.

Did you bring it? No.

Why not? I got a lot of junkies here crying for it.

Hey, man, the deal with you was to bring it.

Relax. As long as Thunder's poking his nose around here, we gotta be careful.

I'm not taking any chances, and you better not neither if you're smart.

What was that?

I don't know. Maybe someone was listening. Come on.

Let's get him.

Now look who I have here, old Chief Red Raven.

I'll teach you to throw knives.

Get on the floor.

That's it. Let's go.

Go, go, go.

Calling all cars. Calling all cars.

There's been a robbery and shootout at Valley National Bank.

Robbers escaped in separate vehicles.

This is Thunder in car 34.

Do you read me?

I read you, Thunder.

Over.

I have suspects in sight northbound on Haskell and Las Cruces area.

Okay, Thunder.

Don't move in till you get a backup first.

Dispatch, this is Ralston. I'm on Haskell heading for Las Cruces.

Dispatch, this is Ralston. I'm on Highland near Royal Second.

I'll try to intercept second car. I need backup.

Send an ambulance to East Navajo Road. I'll keep searching.

It's another one. Can't you go any faster? That buzz is almost up our ass.

Shooter, we're both fucked.

English tires.

We'll burn in this state if you kill them.

Hey, you mind telling me who you are?

Thunder.

Well, I won't ever forget you.

This is headquarters.

We read you. Go ahead, Thunder.

I've caught them. I'm coming in. You what?

Wow! What the hell is wrong with you? Thunder got them. He caught the bank

robbers.

Nice going, Thunder.

Attempted murder, illegal possession of arms, armed robbery, and reckless

driving. That's about it for these two.

The others are in the hospital. Damn, I told you he was good. With him around,

we'll clean up the whole county.

Billy, lock them up.

With pleasure.

This way, gentlemen.

The sheriff wants to see you.

Okay.

Now, Thunder.

Yeah?

I just wanted to tell you, you did a great job.

Yeah.

The most important thing in this sheriff's department is keeping the law.

Personal gripes don't come into that.

That applies to everybody.

Do you understand that?

As far as I'm concerned, what occurred earlier is history.

Good.

I like that.

Bender, this is a little reward for your first arrest.

Thank you.

And I want you to take a couple of days off.

Who knows?

You might be sheriff of this county someday.

Hi. Hi.

How was your day, honey?

Fine. Yours?

Not bad.

What's this?

Champagne. What are we celebrating?

My first arrest.

You made an arrest?

Four. And you know, even the sheriff congratulated me.

What's that?

Chief Red Raven's funeral.

What happened?

I didn't know he was sick.

He wasn't. He was killed.

I thought you knew.

I found him this morning on the road to Caibito Plateau.

Well, how was

he killed?

It was a hit and run.

I bet my last dollar that Chief Red Raven here was murdered.

He saved my life when I came back here.

You think there's any connection?

I think it more likely he saw something he wasn't supposed to.

What, for example?

I already told you that for some time a group of punks have been selling drugs

to the Indians around here.

It's just another way of exploiting your people.

Like the coal on your lands.

In the old days, they used to sell fire water to the Indians.

Now it's something far worse.

There's always some varmints ready to make money on what little they have

left.

Well, Thunder, no. I didn't see any law officer with him.

I did see Max and Red Raven together the night the chief died. That Max roughed

him up plenty.

That punk's a drug dealer and comes here regular.

And that's all that I know.

And I'm sorry that I'm not able to help you.

You have.

I'm telling you, Rusty, there's no way I'm going back to jail.

If they catch me, I'll talk.

I'll tell all I know.

Hey, you listening to me?

Relax, Max.

Take it easy.

I'll find a way to keep you out of trouble.

Even if they do catch you, I'll protect you. Look, asshole, I don't want you to

protect me.

I want you to save my ass.

Got that, shithead?

I'm not gonna drown in shit on your account.

Chief, Red Raven's killer is a pusher named Max who hasn't been seen for a

couple of days.

Rusty found him, quite dead.

I even got a witness who saw the killing.

That's the guy. He did it.

He's lying.

Don't move.

You're under arrest.

Don't be a fool, Rusty.

Put that revolver away.

I said put that revolver away.

Let's go and look in your locker open it Look

at that sheriff

I've never

seen that before I'm sure you haven't I'm innocent Someone put it there.

Maybe we'll see but I tell you Thunder things are looking pretty bad for you

right now.

Hold it.

You don't want to do anything to make things look worse for you.

I promise you one thing.

If you're innocent, you'll have plenty of chances to prove it.

That you behave like a good boy.

Understand me?

You shouldn't have done that.

Take him out of here.

There's all the proof we need. He's guilty, I'm sure of it.

You know Thunder's innocent.

He had nothing to do with it.

You failed to prove that to the jury, Tom.

What chance did I have against the sheriff's department?

What does that mean?

You know very well.

Rusty, your deputy, made damn sure that I couldn't prove anything.

His report went a long way in swinging the jury.

Rusty believes that Thunder is guilty.

What about you?

I like Thunder, and I don't believe that he's either a dope pusher or a killer.

But he behaved like a horse's ass during that trial.

He just sat there, wouldn't say a word in his defense.

That juror did not have any choice.

What happens to him now?

He's on his way to county prison.

Third District Court, Yavapai County, is now in session.

Honorable Judge Thornton J. Thompson presiding in the trial of Luis Martinez,

also known as Thunder, versus the state of Arizona.

Foreman, read the verdict of the jury.

We find the defendant guilty as charged with possession of illegal drugs, but

innocent of the charge of the murder of Max Nolan.

I hereby sentence the defendant to five years of hard labor at a state

correctional institution.

and recommend that he not be eligible for parole for at least two years.

Prisoner is now remanded to custody of the County Sheriff for consignment to

prison authority.

Hi, Manson. What do you got for me this time?

An Indian. What'd he do? Sold drugs in his village, killed his pusher, and

disgraced the uniform he was wearing.

Judas, huh?

We know how to deal with his kind.

Okay.

I'll tame him down, don't worry.

You don't mind if we give him a little special treatment, do you?

He's all yours, hyena.

Rusty, how about a drink? You have time?

No, thanks. I better be getting along.

Rusty.

Don't you call me hyena anymore, understand?

I don't like it.

So you're an Indian, huh?

We gave you a decent life.

Good food and honest work.

We even gave you a uniform.

This is the way you pay us back.

Spitting on the food we gave you.

Well, here you are now.

You'll be here for a while.

You ain't going nowhere.

We're gonna make you feel right at home.

An Indian, huh?

What'd he do?

He's a former deputy.

A killer and a drug dealer.

You be tough with him.

Okay, get up!

And that's enough. He's clean now.

Put him on.

Then come with me.

The first rule here is you obey orders.

You're coming with me now.

Come on, move your ass.

Oh, what a shame. And he just had a shower, too.

Hose him down again.

Okay.

All right, this detail, work over there.

Hey, Merrill, get busy and load that pipe.

Where do you think you are, Sun City?

Hurry up. I want that trailer loaded.

I don't feel good. I gotta rest for a minute.

Don't feel good, huh?

You're gonna feel a lot worse if you don't get back to work, rat turd. And I

mean now.

Pollock!

You got something to say, red-ass?

Right on your feet.

Get up!

Give me a break.

I want that trailer fully loaded.

Understand?

And if it ain't when I come back, you shirtless bastard, it'll be your flabby

ass. Understand?

Now get to work.

Don't worry, I'll do it. You rest.

Hey, Mayo says he can't work. Look who's helping him.

Shit.

Hey, scumbag.

Keep away from him and let him do his work.

I'll pay you back in spades.

That Indian, how's it going?

He giving you any problems?

Yeah, he has lots of problems.

He's beginning to affect the others, too. The man just won't give in.

Giving you problems, huh?

Put him in the sweat box.

They sure got it in for him.

Get in there.

That'll do it.

Poor bastard.

He'll cook in there.

He won't last long.

I haven't heard a sound out of him.

I wonder if he's still alive.

Hell.

Ah, Jeff.

I don't think he'll make it.

He's been locked in there for more than a week. We gotta take him out of there.

He's gonna die.

Man, you must be crazy. Hyena will put us in there. Look, just forget about

him, man. He's only an Indian.

That's what bothers me.

I got a quarter Indian blood in my veins.

Nothing doing, Sheena.

I can't even get permission to visit him.

I won't give up on this, Thomas.

I'll fight until I prove his innocence.

Please, don't give up the case, Thomas.

You're our only friend.

Without you, Thunder doesn't stand a chance.

I'll do everything possible, Sheena.

But don't get your hopes up.

Hey, Jeff, how long has he been in there?

Tomorrow will be day 11.

All right, come on out.

Come on, get your ass out of there.

My name's Jeff.

You okay?

Take that man to the dorm and take care of him. This boy needs a doctor.

There's no doctor here, and you know it.

Well, find him one then.

I'll do my best.

Come on.

Help me. Easy.

A doctor?

A doctor for that Indian?

Well, he's a man like anyone else.

Yeah?

He's a criminal.

And what's more, he's a rogue cop.

He's no man in my book.

And I don't want no bleeding-heart doctor coming here and saying we

mistreated that bastard.

Now, you go back to your work and forget about that damn Indian.

Get me?

Yes, sir.

Pollock. Yes, sir.

I don't want any of your guards thinking this is a country club.

Is that clear?

Yes, sir.

I want your boys to be tough on him. Yes, sir.

Why don't you treat him rough?

Yes, sir. Got it?

Hey, what's wrong with Fred?

Well, Fred's part Indian himself.

Oh, he is, is he?

All right, up.

Hey, Indian, I'm talking to you. Get up.

You hear me?

I have a little job for you.

Leave him alone.

Do you want to do his job?

Take it easy, Pollock.

You don't want to find him dead.

Where do you get off worrying about some shit of an Indian?

I do.

Can't you see he's more dead than alive?

Hell, just look at him, Pollock.

He won't make it through the night, take it from me.

I've been in this hole longer than anyone.

And I don't remember anybody surviving two weeks in the sweat box.

By God, he better not make it through the night for your sake.

Hey, buddy, are you all right?

Hey, can you hear me?

Wake up.

Hey, Indian, I'm talking to you, damn it! Wake up!

You talking to me?

Looks like we're about to have some fun.

He made it.

God, he made it.

Pollock, you son of a bitch, you let him escape.

Now your damn ass is going in that sweatbox until we find him and bring him

back. You understand?

Colombian prisoner Luis Martinez, also known as Thunder, has escaped Cayabito

State Prison in a stolen squad car number 401.

He is last seen headed northwest in the direction of State Highway 22.

Repeat, he is driving a squad car number 401 and is extremely dangerous.

You ain't much of a talker, are you?

No.

You might be interested to know that Interstate 160, 89, and 163 are crawling

with highway patrol.

So be advised, slow down, and have a nice day.

Oh, shit.

What'll I do now?

What are you hauling?

I got a load of bootleg whiskey back there.

If I don't deliver it today, I lose my money.

I know how to avoid roadblocks.

Uh, okay.

It's okay.

Half a mile...

Down the road, turn right.

But I warn you, the road's bad.

Sure there's a way we want to get off. Yeah.

Thanks again.

Your client Thunder made a hell of a mistake three hours ago.

What's happened?

He broke out of the county prison, seriously wounded a guard, and busted

through the prison fence in a stolen car.

He's committed a series of crimes, buddy.

And in my county, I don't care if a person is white, brown, yellow,

checkered, polka-dotted, or striped.

In the eyes of the law of this country, everyone is treated equally.

Do you understand that?

Yes.

Look, I'm talking to you as a friend.

I know you got a lot of problems at home. That's got nothing to do with

this. And I also know you're a good sheriff.

Thank you.

Yet somebody's pushing drugs around here.

And you ought to know better than anybody that Thunder was framed.

I don't know that.

Now he's lost faith in the law.

And he's gonna tear this damn town apart if we don't stop him.

And how do you suggest we do that?

Arrest the one who's really guilty.

That shouldn't be too difficult for you. As close as he is.

Are you talking about Rusty?

Yes. Rusty.

He's living high on a hog for a deputy

I've been thinking about that

I Don't have any proof I have no

evidence I See

I see

Report your position. Over.

We're at Mesa Grande.

Still haven't found him.

We're going to head toward the desert.

Roger. Over.

So you see, Sheena, the sheriff can't do anything until he gets some evidence

against his deputy, Rusty Wisner. I understand.

I know Thunder couldn't do anything bad.

Now you say he's escaped?

Yes. Where is he now?

I don't know. But we gotta find him before they do.

Before they... Before they what?

What's going on, Thomas?

I wanna know.

Nothing yet.

But we gotta find Thunder.

Not a sign of anything.

Not a living soul down there.

Nope, nothing.

There's not a soul.

Yeah.

Sand. Sand and rocks.

But I know that Eden bastard.

This is his home.

He can't get away.

Not from me.

Even if I have to spend my whole life, I'll get him.

I swear.

I'll find him.

I got a hunch you might have headed up here. You're used to hunting these

parts.

I hope he don't go doing nothing else stupid.

Rusty, this is Billy at headquarters.

Come in, over.

This is headquarters.

Come in, Rusty.

Let's take a look in that canyon.

Yeah, okay.

Rusty, what are you doing? Come in.

We're searching. Get off my back.

Yeah, well, the sheriff wants you back at base.

Rusty, are you reading me?

Rusty! How am I supposed to work with that damn radio on? And if we turn back

now, we'll lose him.

You've got to turn yourself in I found an appeal for a new trial.

That's the only road back to being a free man Otherwise, you're gonna spend

the rest of your life being hunted. They'll never catch me. Maybe not But

what about Sheena and the baby you thought about them?

I'll go wherever my man goes Stupidity

We're nearing the 21st century and you both acting as if time stood still or

gone backwards Your child has got to go to school lead a normal life You want to

know how to combat a corrupt cop Report him.

That's how then the sheriff will get the goods on him and arrest him You're

getting stoned won't convince me drunk lawyer is good for Indians, but not for

me.

I Swear not to touch another drop At least not during the trial. Then I'm

going to get blind drunk to celebrate our victory.

I'll do it for you.

Even though it could end with me getting sentenced to life.

Oh, Thunder, I love you.

Look there's a car down there.

Yeah, I see it.

Let's check it out

Something

tells me I finally found what I'm looking for

No problem. No problem. You're in the car with your attorney.

There's no problem.

Get in closer.

What have you got in mind, Rusty?

You fly this kite. I'll handle the rest. Now get down.

Closer.

Go to your right.

Get down. He's shooting.

Get off the road, Thomas! Turn off!

No, we'll turn over. We're going too fast.

That's it.

Zigzag!

Are you crazy? You'll kill them all. I'm shooting at their tires.

I got him.

I got that son of a bitch.

Yeah, I know he's with him, probably.

Let's call in. No.

Take me down. I want to finish a bastard.

No. No way.

You heard me. I said go down. I want to make sure he's finished.

No, Rusty. We better call the sheriff first. You're not calling anyone.

Now do as I say.

Crazy bastard.

Go down.

Sheena. Sheena, how is she?

She's unconscious.

Oh, my leg. I think it's broken.

Can you help me, Thunder?

All right, turn again.

Now, keep her steady.

No, I can't go back now.

Well, I'm going back.

No, he's still alive. He'll escape.

What's going on once again, I tell you?

Are we going to lose him?

That's right.

I'll get him now.

Pour up!

Pour up!

Bastard's got a rope on us!

Take her up!

Fast!

Gina!

We can go over there against that wall.

God damn him.

He's still hanging on. And I'm out of ammunition.

God damn you.

Come on, you bastard. Fall.

I'll smash that bastard!

Riskin' a downdraft!

Shit!

That gook's still there! You went too high!

Hit him against the canyon wall!

That's an order!

Slash him against those rocks!

Take this crate down lower, dammit!

Then pull up sharp next to those cliffs!

That's good.

Now pull up!

Still there. Try again!

that does it well he did a good job our work is finished

Want another lift?

Come on.

You're getting to be my regular passenger.

What'd you do, fly here?

Yeah.

Here, have a swig.

What is this? My cousin cooks it up back home.

Sometimes your eyesight ain't so good if you drink too much of it.

And I'll say one thing, it'll wake a dead mule.

Friend, I don't want to know nothing, but I got the impression you're mired in

shit right up to your neck.

not again stop i don't want you to get in trouble because of me don't worry i

know a shortcut hang on get ready to fire

look out

Don't change a single word of what I told you.

I wouldn't count on it, Rusty.

I don't know what the hell was wrong between you and that Indian, but I don't

want any part of it.

I'll write my report, you write yours.

It'll look strange if we have different versions of what happened.

Just say we were chasing him near a cliff and he fell into the river and

drowned. What about the two people who were with him?

You left them lying in the desert. You didn't even call for help and you

prevented me at the point of a gun from using the radio.

You didn't try to capture him. You wanted to kill him any way you could.

You forced me to be your accomplice in a personal vendetta.

Well, no, I'm writing it like it was.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough.

I'm not asking you a favor.

I said no.

I wouldn't do it if I was you.

Do what?

Well, we had a little accident, Roger. No, it wasn't. It was no accident,

Sheriff. It was more like murder.

You won't believe what went on out there today.

It was wrong, totally, and I'm ashamed to have been a part of it. Never in my

career have I done anything unlawful. Shut up!

Don't listen to him, Roger.

I'm telling you how it happened.

Just like you told me what happened to Max.

Thomas.

Gunder.

They thought you were dead.

Well, I'm not.

I'm back for revenge.

How's Sheena?

She's out of danger.

Get back.

And the baby?

I don't know.

You better not show yourself.

And I was advised that you smarten up and listen to reason.

No. We've talked before, Thomas.

And you almost convinced me. But they tried to kill me.

Endangered Sheena's life and yours, too.

Can't talk you out of it.

No. They wanted war, and they'll get one.

I don't say that what you're doing is right.

In my heart, I prayed for a miracle.

But I can't say as I blame you.

Where's Sheena?

In maternity.

Room 302.

You gonna go see her?

Yes. Through that door, there's an elevator.

It'll take you right to the third floor.

It opens next to Sheena's room. And it isn't being watched.

Thanks.

Well, goodbye.

Yeah. Good luck, Thunder.

You be careful, yeah?

How is she?

She's young. She'll recover.

But the baby... I'm sorry we couldn't save him.

Thunder.

The baby.

Don't talk.

How's our baby?

Is... is he dead?

What did the doctor say?

I want to know, Thunder.

Is our baby dead?

Yeah.

Is it the same man who put you in prison?

That rotten deputy?

Yeah.

Get him, Thunder.

And punish him.

Should you not be in the hospital Tom?

I know where I should be.

But I can't go until I make damn sure you know what is about to happen And

what do you think can happen Rusty and his accomplices are locked up they're

awaiting trial Thunder's got to understand that the laws around here

apply to him as well Whether he likes it or not.

He killed his son

I can imagine how he feels.

That doesn't give him the right to take the law into his own hands.

It doesn't.

Not as far as he's concerned.

He believes our law has failed him, and he's got every right to.

And you'd better get ready to raise this town from the ground, because he's at

war with you.

He'd better not try.

Tom, I swear to God, he'd better not try.

Oh, come on, Bob.

Let me drive it.

Just once around the block.

Sorry, Jane, but you know how much this car means to me.

The other day, two guys stepped in front of me at a light, and you should have

seen me.

I told... Your keys.

To what?

To your car.

Be careful. I haven't finished paying.

He's my mechanic.

Well, make sure you got it right. Billy?

Yes, Sheriff?

I want roadblocks at every intersection, but nobody fires unless fired upon

first. You got that? Yes, sir. OK, get going.

He's been reported seen in too many places. I say it's gotta be a gang.

Anyway, you won't get far.

Attention cars 4 and 10. There's an alarm ringing at Carson's Gun Shop at

5th Street and Grand Avenue.

Well, keep after him.

I'll send you a backup.

You're gonna let me out, right?

Wrong.

What do you mean, wrong?

You gotta stop him getting to me, right?

Wrong again.

You don't mean that.

I've been watching you, Rusty.

I know what you've been up to.

But Roger, we're friends.

No.

You sold our friendship out and you disgraced your uniform.

Are you gonna protect me or not?

Let's put it this way if I'm placed in a situation where I have to choose between

you and him It's not gonna be to your best advantage

You're too young to remember, but when I joined the department in 53, right after

I got back from Korea, we could make a bust and hold any old gig for a week or

more, just unsufficient.

They're too easy on them. Now they got this Miranda law and who knows what.

Is it the...

third fire tonight. I wish I knew what's going on in this town.

Get that number two hose over here.

Here there's a couple dozen Indians on the warpath.

Indians? If that's the case, I'm moving back east.

Yes, Sheriff?

Barricade yourselves in here and don't let anybody near that cell.

Where will you be, Sheriff?

I'm gonna go outside and take a look.

The light's blown.

You think it's him?

Yeah, it must be right outside.

There's two of us, and I'm not about to let him take us by surprise.

I'm going to uncheck Rusty.

Hey!

Get me a rifle!

And let me out!

I'll take care of that bastard!

Hold it right there, Thunder.

Take a walk, Billy.

This isn't your fight.

I can't, Thunder.

I would, but I can't.

Rusty's in the hands of the law now.

I'm a cop, you know.

Shoot him, Billy!

What are you waiting for?

Shoot Billy shoot him shoot him down.

He's a killer that dirty bastard Don't force me to shoot

now go The key Billy give

me the key to his cell damn it shoot Billy

Here I am, Rusty.

No!

No.

Don't kill me.

Don't.

Please.

No.

Please.

No, no, I don't want to die.

Please.

I'm a young cat.

No.

No, don't.

Go on.

You saw him?

Yeah. Then why didn't you shoot the son of a bitch?

I told you, Rusty, if I was put to a choice, it wouldn't be to your best

advantage.

Thunder, I just want to say that I'm mighty sorry for all that's happened on

both sides.

The judge said you're a free man.

You can go wherever you want to, but I wouldn't recommend you coming back here

to this county.

Goodbye, Sheriff.
